 Kyle Jaeger, of Marijuana Moment, wrote about an interesting study on the effect of state legalization and College applications.
Researchers at Oxford College of Emory University and the University of South Carolina looked at the relationship between reforming cannabis laws and college application trends over 2008 to 2020. What they found, in no surprise, is that colleges located in states that have legalized cannabis see larger application pools. Researchers saw nearly a 15 percent increase in the size of the applicant pool for colleges in states that have legalized recreational cannabis use. They also found that there was no statistically significant difference in the quality of applicants, based on standardized tests like the SAT. Lastly, researchers further noted that retention and graduation rates seemed to be unaffected in their study of colleges in states with legalization.
